Anti-migration >> rhetoric and the rejection of multiculturalism, as well as the success of >> far-right parties and movements, have shocked observers. Globalisation, open >> markets, diversity, and growing interconnectedness have also given way to >> publically articulated demands for protection and national isolation. In >> most debates and analyses, the 'decline of trust' is cited as a key reason >> for recent challenges and changes in public perception. >> >> This workshop explores the talk on trust, and what it reveals about social >> challenges and understandings of democracy, free market capitalism, and >> living with ethnic, religious, and cultural difference. We examine why >> 'trust' features so prominently in debates about social change, discontent, >> and new political orders. We aim to understand the role of trust talk in >> attempts to explain our current condition, and its implications for living >> with difference and uncertainty in increasingly interconnected and >> globalising societies. >> >> >> Convenors >> >> Jan-Jonathan Bock, Woolf Institute and St Edmund's College >> >> Caroline Humphrey, King's College Cambridge >> >> Jonathan White, LSE >> >> >> More information and the full programme can be found here: >> >> http://www.woolf.cam.ac.uk/whats-on/events/workshop-on-trust-and-europes-crisis-of-representation >> >> <http://www.woolf.cam.ac.uk/whats-on/events/workshop-on-trust-and-europes-crisis-of-representation> >> >> Places are limited, so please book early. >> >> >> Any questions?
